How to read greens. Make more putts understanding why putts break. Using Tour Read by Odyssey

Hi. I’m Ralph Bauer.

I’ve been lucky enough to coach at all four Major Championships, the Olympics, the Presidents Cup, and just about every Tour event out there. Over the years, I’ve worked with dozens of PGA Tour winners — guys like Cam Davis, Adam Hadwin, Tom Hoge, Gary Woodland, Jhonny Vegas, Kyle Stanley, Lucas Glover, Mackenzie Hughes, Nick Taylor, Corey Conners, Kevin Chappell, Stephen Ames, Andrew Putnam, and more. My students have won over 50 Provincial Championships, an NCAA individual title, and countless amateur tournaments. And here’s one I’m especially proud of — no player who’s worked with me for a full year has ever lost their PGA Tour card.

But honestly?

The most rewarding thing I do is help regular golfers — people like you — finally feel confident over every single putt.

If you’ve ever stood over a 6-footer and guessed… if you’ve ever said, “I thought it would break more…” Then keep reading — because this might be the most important page you’ve ever seen about putting.

The Truth About Putting
That Nobody Else Will Tell You…
Every golfer loses strokes on the green. That’s not a surprise.

But here’s what most golfers get completely wrong:

It’s not your stroke. It’s your read.
You don’t need to change your grip.
You don’t need to agonize over your stroke.
You don’t need to “find your feel.”

The real reason you’re missing putts?

👉 You’re bad at reading them.

And don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Over the course of several PGA Tour events, I tested 10 different Tour players — some of the best in the world — and here’s what we found:

📉 Putts that break left-to-right were under-read by 30%.

📉 Even right-to-left putts — which most players handle better — were still under-read by 15%.

These are elite players. With years of experience. And they’re still underestimating break.

So what does that say about the average 12-handicap?

The problem isn’t talent. It’s that nobody ever taught you how to read greens properly.

Tour pros don’t guess — they use a system. A repeatable method that gives them the exact break and pace they need for every putt.

And now, that same system is available to you in a mobile app…

Introducing Tour Read® Golf…
The App That Teaches You to Read Greens Like a Pro
Tour Read Golf is a patent-pending mobile app that helps you master green reading in three simple ways:

1. It teaches you the Tour Read Green Reading Method using the included video lessons. In just 20-30 minutes you’ll understand the system.

2. It will read putts for you to help you learn how to put the method to use on the course.

3. It will give you the tool, drills and practice plans that you need to practice and perfect your green reading. No more guessing on your reads.

With the app’s help, you’ll know exactly where to aim and how hard to hit it — every time.

It’s already helped PGA Tour winners, college players, and 12-handicaps alike…

And it’s about to help you!

[Music] okay we’re going to talk about the factors that affect breake greens aren’t flat you know the when the architect designs a course they need the water to run off to keep the greens nice and healthy so what’s going to affect our break are a number of factors the two most important ones though are the amount of side slope we have in our putt that the ball’s traveling over and then the length of the putt couple other ones that are super important to up and downhill putts so uphill putts are not going to break as much we hit the putt harder it’s got higher initial ball speed it slows down quicker gravity doesn’t have enough time to take effect uphill putts are not going to break as much the opposite of that is also true we got a downhill putt we hit it softer to start it’s got a slower initial ball speed it’s going to take longer for it to run out gravity is going to have more time to take effect it’s going to break more right so up and downhill putts definitely play A Part the other thing is green speeds So the faster the green the more it’s going to break it’s the same same concept as a downhill putt we hit it softer takes longer to roll out gravity has more time take effect faster green speeds are going to break more slower green speeds are going to break less the T read app powered by Odyssey is going to help us be able to easily recognize all four of those and be able to accurately predict how much our putts going to break
